Eager to return to a field and position where I can be professionally useful. I have always had a knack for sales, discovering this strength in early adulthood. I had all my family, friends and even their families, purchasing and utilizing Melaleuca beauty and cleaning products. Also, influencing just by the very manifestation of my own love for specific products and services; my first being Old Navy Performance Fleece.

While making the decision to stay home and raise my children was one of the hardest, it taught and refined a myriad of skills that I can now apply in the working world. With my unique skill set and unwavering positivity, I am an addition to a team that shouldn't be underestimated; willing to go above and beyond to keep clients satisfied. Work Experience
